So, my father has had this game for some time now and he's the kind of guy who likes to go back and replay older games from time to time. Well, two years or so ago, I upgraded some of his hardware and installed Windows XP 64 Bit on his computer.

A few weeks ago he tried to install PG3d. Installation went fine, and you can even play the game. However, when two units skirmish, the correct outcome is to have each unit shoot at each other and then a little display of the outcome comes up at the bottom. This does not happen. Instead one unit shoots repeatedly until you click something, and no battle results are displayed.

I know that after the battle you can right click the enemy unit to get their current health, which is in effect the same, but that's kind of a pain.

I've never played the game, so I don't quite know what to do. Also I'm a Linux user and haven't used Windows for about half a decade now. So I'm fairly lost here.

If anyone's had a similar issue, or has any idea of what could be wrong, I'd really appreciate the help.

It doesn't seem to me like it would be a problem with the VGA, nor would it be a problem with DirectX. It seems to me like it could be a problem with the code itself (I'm thinking Linux here, so if this does not make sense, ignore it), perhaps in a library (.dll file) that has been changed or something.

Thank you.
